   carrienoka replied to kmartel's topic in School Programs

   That’s how I found out when I got in a couple of years ago. Came here to look for someone else to see if they were sending anything yet. Log in and look at your program, should say you are in the program.

2. The Unwritten Rules Of Dating As A Nurse

   carrienoka replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   You absolutely are perpetuating the stigma. Many, many people seek help at one point in their life and you could go through their charts and see that they had a major stressor and no supports in place and needed to seek treatment and how about after ...

3. Any Over 30 Pre-Nursing Students Here?

   carrienoka replied to sgc29's topic in Oklahoma

   I am 35 and just went back for LPN to RN, graduated in May. I worked more than full time (ft plus 2 per diems) and managed it. For me, I found an overnight job with a lot of downtime and then was able to study at work. You may be able to find a HHA j...

   You specifically say nothing against mental illness and then go on to specifically say something about mental illness.

5. The Unwritten Rules Of Dating As A Nurse

   carrienoka replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I am not discussing the fact that you said don't date a patient from a ward, my issue is with you talking about humans like this. Sorry, I feel sorry that you work in this field and that is the way that you feel about your patients that you would tal...

9. The Unwritten Rules Of Dating As A Nurse

   carrienoka replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   That is what I am saying, I am saying it is unnecessary for all of the negative things that have been said about being seen for mental health issues, that the only thing that was appropriate was the fact that someone said it can be a vulnerable popul...

10. Is it possible to go to LPN school while living on your own with a part-time job?

    carrienoka replied to Kohai's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I worked full time while in LPN school and LPN to RN. You wont have a life, but that's ok. To be fair, while I was in LPN school I stayed with my sister, but mainly because I had a lot of debt and took a pay cut for the career change. It felt mostly ...

11. The Unwritten Rules Of Dating As A Nurse

    carrienoka replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    I am really disgusted with how more than one person has brought up that the person was in for a psych issue, aside from mentioning this could be a vulnerable population. You should really think about how you are stigmatizing people as a medical profe...

13. Why do LPNs only make $40K per year?

    carrienoka replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    Agreed. I made $86,000 last year as an LPN and over $90K the year before. My base before differential is 56K, plus differential ranging from 10%-35% and the occasional OT or per diem shift elsewhere (all things my RN friends are doing as well). It de...

14. Maybe nursing wasn't for me?

    carrienoka replied to em3120's topic in New Nurse

    I am currently an LPN, but my first 2 jobs fresh out of school were community based. One for a group home for individuals with brain injury and the other in a Crisis Stabilization Unit run by a non-profit. Both of these places also hire RNs. Just ke...
